NEWS- NUUS

While the 2023-24 mid-summer drought has been the central theme of the downbeat performance of South Africa's agriculture this year, we see a welcome positive change in the jobs data. Statistics South Africa data show that primary agriculture employment improved by 4% from the previous quarter to 935k jobs in the third quarter. However, from an annual perspective, the performance is weak, down 2% year-on-year. Still, the primary agricultural employment of 935k people is well above the long-term jobs of 799k. The poor annual performance mirrors the harsh summer season we are leaving behind. Some subsectors showing a quarterly increase in employment include livestock, horticulture, game hunting, and the production of organic fertilizers. Meanwhile, forestry and aquaculture recorded job losses from the year's second quarter.

According to Trade Map data, China spends just more than $200bn a year on imports of agricultural products. The US is the second largest agricultural supplier to China after Brazil. Other suppliers include Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Canada, Vietnam, France, Russia, Argentina, Chile, Ukraine, the Netherlands and Malaysia. Indeed, if one looks at China’s agricultural imports, the top products include oilseeds, meat, grains, fruits and nuts, cotton, beverages and spirits, sugar, wool and vegetables. The US has exposure to oilseeds and meat.

Die amptelike werkloosheidsyfer vir die derde kwartaal van 2024 het met 1,4-persentasiepunte gedaal tot 32,1-persent, vergeleke met die 33,5-persent vir die tweede kwartaal. Volgens Statistieke Suid-Afrika se kwartaallikse arbeidsmagopname was daar ‘n toename van 294 000 in die aantal werkende mense met ‘n afname van 373 000 ten opsigte van werkloses. Die nie-ekonomies-aktiewe bevolking het tot 16,5-miljoen toegeneem. Die uitgebreide werkloosheidsyfer vir die derde kwartaal het met 0,7 van ‘n persentasiepunt tot 41,9-persent gedaal. Dit sluit in die mense wat opgehou het om werk te soek.

Some companies that are under no legal obligation to cut their emissions have set voluntary targets, which they can meet partially through buying credits on a voluntary carbon market. In 2022, the voluntary market was valued at about $2 billion worldwide. But the market value plummeted to $723 million last year after being shaken by repeated scandals. Linking up carbon projects currently in the voluntary market with the Paris Agreement system could boost confidence. Developers of projects like mangrove restoration to regenerative agriculture can apply to have their credits sold under the UN system, meaning that if approved, they could sell in either that system or on the voluntary market. Experts expect UN-approved credits to carry a higher price tag.

Ghana, the world's number two cocoa producer, has raised the fixed farmgate price paid to cocoa farmers for the second time this 2024/25 season to help boost farmers' incomes, President Nana Akufo-Addo said. Akufo-Addo, whose two-term mandate ends on Jan. 7, 2025, said at a farmers' award ceremony late on Friday that cocoa farmers would now receive 49,600 Ghanaian cedi ($3,062) per metric ton compared with the 48,000 Ghanaian cedi announced when the season opened on Sept. 1.

Om regverdigheid tussen kinders in ’n familieonderneming te navigeer kan inderdaad ’n komplekse kwessie wees.  Kinders kan verskillende diensjare of vlakke van betrokkenheid hê, wat dit uitdagend kan maak om te verseker dat familielede regverdig beloon word. LEES MEER 

President Trump has indicated in his campaign trail that the US may impose up to 20% tariff on all imports and 60% on goods from China. We don't know how China would react to such tariffs. However, if China retaliates as it did the last time, the US soybean and maize farmers and pork producers would again be negatively affected. We could see this through disruptions in global grains and oilseed prices. The US is a significant producer, and when its grain market activity is disrupted, the impact tends to be felt globally. Moreover, US farmers could also start exploring other export markets they have not been as present to hedge against China's risks. READ MORE 

At the heart of the discussions in Baku is the climate finance goal, which seeks to establish a target for financial support directed towards developing countries — funding considered essential for helping these nations reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Bloutong-serotipe-3 versprei soos ’n veldbrand in Europa en Brittanje en klimaatsverandering is die rede waarom dié ernstige siekte ál meer noord op dié vasteland voorkom.

 

 

 

Die neerslae wat die naweek oor dele van die somerreënstreek uitgesak het, het baie kol-kol en wisselend in distrikte voorgekom, maar die boere wat wil begin plant, is opgewonde. Dit reen nog steeds sedert vanoggend oor groot dele van die land- veral in die Noorde/

 

 

 

Brasilië het besonderhede van sy nuwe belofte oor klimaatsverandering aangekondig. Dit stel ‘n teiken om die land se kweekhuisgasvrystellings teen 2035 te verlaag. Die land sal sy belofte by die komende COP29 in Azerbeidjan bekend maak. Dit word as uiters belangrik geag omdat Brasilië een van die wêreld se grootste vrystellers van koolstofdioksied is.

 

 

Klimaatsverandering is ‘n brandpunt, veral in Afrika waar gemeenskappe die duurste daarvoor betaal maar die minste daartoe bygedra het. In Kenia het inwoners swaar reën getrotseer om saailinge in Nairobi te plant nadat die regering sy pogings om 100 miljoen bome regoor die land te plant bekend gemaak het.

Die werkloosheidskoers het in die derde kwartaal vanjaar tot 32-komma-1 persent gedaal, teenoor 33-komma-5 persent in die vorige kwartaal. Indiensneming in die formele sektor het in dié tydperk met 122-duisend toegeneem en in die informele sektor met 165-duisend.

 

 

 

Kunsmatige intelligensie neem die landbousektor oor namate boere poog om bedrywighede te optimaliseer deur data-gebaseerde besluite. Kenners meen kunsmatige intelligensie kan oplossings bied vir boerdery-uitdagings, soos uiterste weersomstandighede, beurtkrag, stygende insetpryse, brandstofkoste en klimaatsverandering.

 

 

We saw a surge in South Africa’s white maize price today (see chart — rands per tonne) today. This primarily reflects the impact of the 2023-24 drought on the harvest. The weaker domestic currency also added to this surge. Fundamentally, the white maize supplies are tight in South Africa, and the Southern Africa region following a poor harvest. Still, South Africa has sufficient supplies for domestic consumption and exports to the region. We forecast South Africa’s overall maize exports at 1.9 million tonnes through to April 2025 marketing year (about 1.2 million tonnes is white maize and 700k tonnes is yellow). About a million tonnes have already been exported, mainly to the Southern Africa region.
